Safety Warnings

Not Just For Beginners

Regardless of your familiarity or experience with firearms, don’t assume
that you have no need to study this manual.

The safe handling of firearms requires specialized training, discipline
and caution. Firearms, by their nature and intended function, are deadly
instruments. Accidental death or serious injury can result if they are
handled improperly or carelessly.

Firearms rarely cause accidents. Firearms accidents almost always are
caused by a failure to obey the basic rules of gun safety. Unfortunately,
experienced shooters are found to violate these rules as frequently as
beginners. Thus, the basics of safe firearms handling cannot be repeated
too often. Read, re-read and memorize the basic principles of firearms
safety until they become second nature: habits that you don’t forget.

If you have any question about your knowledge or ability to use this or
any other firearm with complete safety you should seek supervised
instruction. Personalized instruction is often available from gun dealers,
gun clubs, state hunter safety programs or police departments in the
United States. If none of these sources is accessible, write to the National
Rifle Association, Washington, D.C. 20036. THEY WILL ASSIST YOU.

A person with a gun in his possession has a full-time responsibility. He
must KNOW how to keep and use his firearm safely, and then must always
TAKE the precautions necessary - all of them. He cannot guess; he cannot
forget. This responsibility is his alone. It cannot be passed off to someone
else.

Remember: no gun can be made accident-proof. A gun is just a machine,
with no judgement of its own. It responds to your actions, whether wise
or foolish. The only truly effective safety device is the mind of a cautious
shooter who never forgets that a moment’s carelessness can produce
permanent tragedy.

ALWAYS KEEP THE MUZZLE POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION.

Guns Are Not Alike

Many makes and models of firearms might LOOK nearly the same.
However, they differ widely in design and operation, and in the location
and function of various controls.

Study this manual thoroughly. Educate yourself on the characteristics and
operation of your particular firearm before attempting to handle it. Do
not permit others to handle it, unless they also have done so.

You should have an instruction manual for every firearm you own. If you
do not, write the manufacturer and obtain one. Most manufacturers will
gladly send you one free. If for any reason a manual is not available, visit
your public library. Many books have been published which contain
detailed information on obsolete or discontinued firearms.

Your knowledge can prevent injuries.

The Taurus rifle was designed and is made to offer the maximum of safety
when correctly used. However, as with any other weapon, it is not
foolproof, and may become very dangerous if the following basic
recommendations are not RIGIDLY observed:

Warning:

Securing your firearm may inhibit access to it in a defense situation and
result in injury or death.

Warning:

Failure to properly secure a firearm may result in injury or death.

Attention

1.

Never, never-ever

point any gun, loaded or unloaded, at anything you

do not intend to shoot.

2.

Always

treat every gun as if it were loaded.

3. Get instruction from a competent firearms instructor before using

any gun.

4. The safety is only a mechanical device, not a substitute for common

sense.

5. Keep your finger off the trigger until you are actually aiming at the

target ready to shoot.

ALWAYS KEEP THE MUZZLE POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION.

5

6. Be certain the gun is unloaded before cleaning.
7. Always empty guns before entering a place where there are people.
8. Never leave a loaded gun unattended.
9. Store guns and ammunition separately, beyond the reach of children.

10. Don’t test the safety by pulling the trigger while the safety is on unless

you are absolutely sure the gun is empty and you are pointing away from
everyone.

11. Be sure of your target and backstop before you shoot.
12. Guns and alcohol or drugs don’t mix.
13. Never pull a gun towards you by the muzzle. Don’t climb a tree or cross

a fence with a loaded gun.

14. Load and unload with the muzzle pointed in a safe direction.
15. If a gun fails to fire when the trigger is pulled, keep it pointed at the

target for at least 30 seconds. Sometimes slow primer ignition will cause
a “hang-fire” and the cartridge will go off after a short pause.

16. Never shoot at hard flat surfaces or water - bullet may ricochet.
17. When receiving a gun always check that it is unloaded.
18. Never put your hand over the muzzle of a gun.
19. Check ammunition to be sure it is the right size and caliber, and that it is

not dented.

20. Never cock the gun until you are ready to shoot.
21. Dry firing is bad for this gun, whether the safety is engaged or not.
22.

WHILE HANDLING ANY FIREARM, NEVER ALLOW IT TO POINT AT ANY
PART OF YOUR BODY OR AT ANOTHER PERSON. NO HARM SHOULD
RESULT IF YOU OBEY THIS RULE, EVEN IF AN ACCIDENTAL DISCHARGE
OCCURS.

23. If there is any reason to suspect that a bullet is obstructing the barrel,

immediately unload the firearm and look through the bore. It is not
sufficient to merely look in the chamber.

24. Treat this gun as a precision instrument.
25. Old or reloaded ammunition may be dangerous. We recommend against

using it.

26. Don’t try to change your gun’s trigger pull, because alteration of trigger

pull usually affects sear engagement and may cause accidental discharge.

Write to us concerning any items or circumstances which might relate to
your safety and the operation of our products.

ALWAYS KEEP THE MUZZLE POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION.

Warning

Taurus rifles were manufactured to perform properly with the original
parts as designed. It is your duty to make sure any parts you buy are
installed correctly and that neither replacements nor originals are altered
or changed. Your gun is a complex tool with many parts that must relate
correctly to other parts. Putting a gun together wrong or with modified
parts can result in a damaged gun, danger and injury or death to you and
others through malfunction. Always have a qualified gunsmith work on
your gun.

Warning:

To prevent injury or death, it is imperative that you must keep your gun
unloaded, uncocked and securely locked, with ammunition in a separate
location. In addition, take any other reasonable steps to limit the
possibility of theft, accident or suicide.

Protect Your Eyes and Ears

Always

wear adequate shooting glasses

and ear plugs or “ear muff” type
protectors whenever you are shooting.

Always

make certain that persons close

to you are similarly protected.

Unprotected eyes may be injured by
powder, gas, carbon residue,
lubricant, metallic particles or similar
debris which may emanate occasionally from any firearm in normal use.

Without ear protection, repeated exposure to shooting noise may lead to
cumulative, permanent hearing loss.

ALWAYS KEEP THE MUZZLE POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION.

7

Ammunition

1. Use only high quality, original, factory-manufactured .22 Long Rifle

ammunition, depending on the model. Do not use cartridges that are
dirty, wet, corroded, bent or damaged. Do not oil cartridges. Do not
spray aerosol type lubricants, preservatives, or cleaners directly onto
cartridges or where excess spray may flow into contact with
cartridges. Lubricant or other foreign matter on cartridges can cause
potentially dangerous ammunition malfunctions. Use only ammunition
of the caliber for which your firearm is chambered. The proper
caliber is permanently engraved on your firearm; never attempt to use
ammunition of any other caliber.

2. The use of reloaded, “remanufactured”, hand-loaded, or other non-

standard ammunition voids all warranties. Improperly loaded
ammunition voids all warranties. Improperly loaded ammunition can
be extremely dangerous. Severe damage to the firearm and serious
injury to the shooter or to others may result. Always use ammunition
that complies with the industry performance standards established by
the Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers Institute, Inc., of
the United States, (SAAMI) or the equivalent from other countries.

3. Firearms may be severely damaged and serious injury to the shooter

or to others may result from any condition causing excessive pressure
inside the chamber or barrel during firing. Excessive pressure can be
caused by obstructions in the barrel, propellant powder overloads, or
by the use of incorrect cartridges or defectively assembled cartridges.
In addition, the use of a dirty, corroded, or damaged cartridge can
lead to a burst cartridge case and consequent damage to the firearm
and personal injury from the sudden escape of high-pressure
propellant gas within the firearm’s mechanism.

4. Immediately stop shooting and check the barrel for a possible

obstruction whenever:

• You have difficulty in, or feel unusual resistance in, chambering a

cartridge, or

• A cartridge misfires (does not go off), or
• The mechanism fails to extract a fired cartridge case, or
• Unburned grains of propellant powder are discovered spilled in

mechanism, or

• A shot sounds weak or abnormal. In such cases it is possible that a

bullet is lodged part way down the barrel. Firing a subsequent bullet
into the obstructed barrel can wreck the firearm and cause serious
injury to the shooter or to bystanders.

ALWAYS KEEP THE MUZZLE POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION.

8

5. Bullets can become lodged in the barrel.

• If the cartridge has been improperly loaded without propellant

powder, or if the powder fails to ignite (Ignition of the cartridge
primer alone will push the bullet out the cartridge case, but usually
does not generate sufficient energy to expel the bullet completely from
the barrel).

• If the bullet is not properly seated tightly in the cartridge case. When

such a cartridge is extracted from the chamber without being fired,
the bullet may be left behind in the bore at the point where the rifling
begins. Subsequent chambering of another cartridge may push the
first bullet further into the bore.

6. If there is any reason to suspect that a bullet is obstructing the barrel,

immediately unload the firearm and look through the bore. It is not
sufficient to merely look in the chamber. A bullet may be lodged some
distance down the barrel where it can not easily be seen.

IF A BULLET IS IN THE BORE, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO SHOOT IT OUT

BY USING ANOTHER CARTRIDGE, OR BY BLOWING IT OUT WITH A
BLANK OR ONE FROM WHICH THE BULLET HAS BEEN REMOVED.
SUCH TECHNIQUES CAN GENERATE EXCESSIVE PRESSURE, WRECK
THE FIREARM AND CAUSE SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY.

If the bullet can be removed with a cleaning rod, clean any unburned

powder grains from the bore, chamber, and mechanism before
resuming shooting. If the bullet cannot be dislodged by tapping it with
a cleaning rod, take the firearm to a gunsmith.

7. Dirt, corrosion, or other foreign matter on a cartridge can impede

complete chambering and may cause the cartridge case to burst upon
firing. The same is true of cartridges which are damaged or deformed.

8. Do not oil cartridges, and be sure to wipe the chamber clean of any

oil or preservative before commencing to shoot. Oil interferes with the
friction between cartridge case and chamber wall that is necessary for
safe functioning, and subjects the firearm to stress similar to that
imposed by excessive pressure.

9. Use lubricants sparingly on the moving parts of your firearm. Avoid

excessive spraying of any aerosol gun care product, especially where it
may get on ammunition. All lubricants and aerosol spray lubricants in
particular, can penetrate cartridge primers and cause misfires. Some
highly penetrative lubricants can also migrate inside cartridge cases
and cause deterioration of the propellant powder; on firing, the
powder may not ignite. If only the primer ignites, there is danger that
the bullet may become lodged in the barrel.

ALWAYS KEEP THE MUZZLE POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION.

9

Warning

Discharging firearms in poorly ventilated areas, cleaning firearms, or
handling ammunition may result in exposure to lead and other
substances known to cause birth defects, reproductive harm, and other
serious physical injury. Have adequate ventilation at all times. Wash hands
thoroughly after exposure.

How To Operate The Safety -
Warning

Prior to firing, know and understand the
operation of the safety by practicing with the
rifle unloaded.
The safety is a lever located on top of the breech
bolt. When the elevated portion of the lever is in
line with the barrel and the red “F” is exposed,
the rifle will fire when the hammer is in full-
cock position and the trigger is pulled. When
the elevated portion of the safety lever is turned
to the right and is perpendicular to the barrel
and the green “S” is exposed, the rifle will not fire when the trigger is
pulled.

Warning

Never

put the safety between the Safe and Fire notches. Unless the safety

is positioned in one of the two notches, you cannot be certain whether it
is on safe or fire.
The safest way to carry this rifle is with

NO

round in the chamber. If you

feel that you must carry the rifle with a round in the chamber, then the
safety lever must be on SAFE and the hammer placed in the half-cocked
notch. Then, to fire, the hammer should be placed in the full-cocked
position and then the safety placed in the fire position.

Safety ON

Safety OFF

Hammer Rest

Hammer Half-Cocked

Hammer Full-Cocked

F

Always keep this rifle on Safe regardless of the position of the hammer,

whether loaded or unloaded. The only time the safety lever should be

placed in the Fire position is when you intend to shoot.

ALWAYS KEEP THE MUZZLE POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION.

10

Warning

Never disassemble the safety. It has been correctly designed, fitted and
tested. Any mechanical device can fail, however, so never rely on the
safety to justify careless handling. Never use a firearm with a safety that
does not function properly.

Rifle With
“Taurus Security System”

This rifle is equipped with the exclusive “TAURUS SECURITY SYSTEM”.
The system is designed to preclude use of the rifle when the mechanism
is engaged. It consists of an integral mechanism located on the back
portion of the hammer. When properly activated, by use of the key, it
prevents the functioning of the rifle. The engagement of the mechanism
can only be done utilizing a key with a shape that fits the deactivating
mechanism.

1. DEACTIVATION
To engage the deactivation mechanism, it is necessary to insert the key
into the deactivation pin and turn it clockwise until a “click” is felt or
heard (Fig. la). In this position, the rifle’s mechanism is locked and the
pin protrudes above the surface of the back of the hammer (Fig. ib).

2. ACTIVATION
To place the rifle in a firing condition, one must insert the key in the
security mechanism and turn the key counter clockwise (Fig.2a). In this
position, the top of the pin is on the same plane with the rest of the back
portion of the hammer (Fig. 2b). The rifle is now ready to fire.

How To Load Your Rifle

Magazine Loading

Warning

Never attempt to load your rifle with ammunition that does not meet the
cartridge designation stamped on the barrel. Use only clean, dry, factory-
loaded .22 Win. Magnum Rim Fire ammunition(G23) or .22 Long Rifle
cartridges (G22).

Warning

Before loading this firearm, always check the bore to be sure it is free of
grease, oil or any other obstruction.

Be sure

the chamber is empty, bolt is

open and the safety is on SAFE. To avoid having your hands near
the muzzle of a loaded rifle, never add cartridges to a partially loaded
tubular magazine.

Warning

This rifle will not function properly unless the inner magazine tube is
locked securely in place.

Fig. 1
Unlocking the tubular
magazine.

Fig. 2
Loading the tubular magazine.

OPEN THE BOLT by first carefully allowing the hammer to move forward

UNDER CONTROL OF YOUR THUMB

while pulling the trigger until the

hammer is in the fully forward (at rest) position, then pull forend smartly to
the rear.
Then, with the safety on SAFE, keeping your fingers away from the muzzle,
turn your rifle upside down and unlock the inner magazine tube by turning
the knurled locking end plug (see Fig. 1). Pull the inner tube out until the
loading port is exposed. Insert the cartridges, bullet end toward the muzzle
(see Fig. 2). When you have loaded up to the stated magazine capacity, shown
in this manual under “Specifications”, slide the tube back in place, turning it
slightly to ease passage over the loaded rounds. DO NOT FORCE THE TUBE
DOWN. Then rotate the knurled locking end plug to the locked position.
Inner tube will not lock in place if the number of cartridges loaded exceeds
the stated magazine capacity.

ALWAYS KEEP THE MUZZLE POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION.

11

ALWAYS KEEP THE MUZZLE POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION.

12

Cocked and Ready

To chamber the first cartridge, close the bolt by moving the forend
forward, then cycle the action again. Always keep the safety on SAFE. The
gun is now cocked and ready to fire.

To Fire

With the gun pointed at the target, move the safety to the FIRE position
and squeeze the trigger. Open and close the bolt completely for each
repeat shot. If you have not fired all cartridges at the target, be sure to
put the safety on SAFE until you are ready to shoot again.

How To Unload

With the safety on SAFE, and the rifle pointed in a safe direction, open the
bolt and eject the loaded cartridge from the chamber.
Cycle the action repeatedly by opening and closing the bolt, until the
ejection of cartridges ceases.

Warning

Completely open and fully close the bolt several more times to be certain
that the chamber and feed mechanism are empty. Finally, inspect interior
of receiver visually. Leave the bolt in the open position.
A safer way to unload the rifle is by (1) placing the safety lever on SAFE;
(2) removing the inner magazine tube; (3) pouring out and catching the
cartridges; (4) replacing magazine tube; and (5) cycling action several
times.

ALWAYS INSPECT INTERIOR OF RECEIVER VISUALLY TO MAKE SURE THAT
THE MAGAZINE IS EMPTY AND THE CHAMBER IS EMPTY.

What To Do If Rifle Fails To Fire

1. Misfires: If you squeeze the trigger and the cartridge does not fire,

remain in the shooting position and count to 30. Then operate the
bolt to eject the misfired cartridge from the gun.

ALWAYS KEEP THE MUZZLE POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION.

13

2. Underpowered Shot: An underpowered cartridge is unusual if the

ammunition is fresh, clean, and factory loaded. However, if you hear

an unusual sound or low report, you should stop immediately and

proceed as follows:

Warning

Because the bullet may actually still be in the barrel, you must unload
completely and then with the bolt open, look through the barrel from the
muzzle end to see if there is any obstruction. If there is, it should be
removed by a qualified gunsmith.

Sighting

Your rifle was pre-sighted at the factory. However, due to individual
sighting characteristics, minor adjustments may be necessary.

Always ensure the rifle is pointed in a safe direction. Put the rifle on SAFE
and open the bolt before making any sight changes.

1. VERTICAL CORRECTION (Elevation): To raise the point of impact,

raise the rear sight. To lower the point of impact, lower the rear sight.
The sight can be raised and lowered by moving the stepped elevator
forward and back with your thumb.

2. HORIZONTAL CORRECTION (Windage): To move the point of impact

to the left, move the rear sight base to the left. To move the point of
impact to the right, move the rear sight base to the right.

Windage adjustments to the rear sight can be made by gently tapping

the dovetail portion of the rear sight in the desired direction.

How To Clean Your Rifle
Warning

Before cleaning your rifle, be certain
it is completely unloaded, and the
bolt has been opened.

Never attempt to wipe down or clean
a loaded firearm. Follow instructions under “How to Unload” before
cleaning.

Open Bolt

ALWAYS KEEP THE MUZZLE POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION.

14

With normal use it is not necessary to clean the bore of your rifle.
However, if the rifle gets wet or if foreign material gets into the action or
barrel, cleaning as described below is recommended.

Being sure your rifle is unloaded and pointed in a safe direction with the
safety

on SAFE

, cycle the bolt to the rear, as shown in Fig. 1.

Clean the bore and barrel by using any standard .22 caliber commercial
cleaning rod and cleaning patches. Clean the barrel with powder solvent
and wipe lightly with gun oil after cleaning.

Warning

Further disassembly of the action is not recommended and should only
be attempted by a qualified gunsmith.

Take Down Instructions

If you wish to “take down” your rifle for transport or storage, proceed as
follows:

1. Place safety lever on.

2. Make sure rifle is unloaded.

3. Place hammer in “half-cocked” position.

4. Unscrew the knurled knob on left rear of receiver until it turns freely.

5. Pull butt stock and rear of receiver to rear.

6. Reassemble in reverse order.

Use a very thin coat of light oil during below freezing conditions.
Condensation droplets will form soon after the firearm is brought into a
warm room, or it may become wet during inclement weather. In any
case, all moisture should be removed. Exterior metal finishes may be
wiped down with a slightly oiled cloth. For long term storage, lightly oil
the bore, barrel and action with gun oil. Your firearm should be
completely unloaded and stored in a dry area. Never store your firearm
in a carrying case.

ALWAYS KEEP THE MUZZLE POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION.
